CCTV capture bare-faced bandits breaking into goods van

Jan 08, 2017 News 0 Comments

– Captured on CCTV
About three men in a black Toyota Raum were seen shortly after noon, yesterday, breaking into and emptying a grocery can which was parked just off the high bridge at the La Penitence Market, Georgetown.

The arrows show the black Raum (left) and the goods van (right).

From the footage, the registration number on the front of the vehicle appears to be HC 5334 or HC 5354. The number plate on the back of the car appears to be different from the one on the front—it reads HC 3344 or HC 1344.
Based on the CCTV footage, the black Raum came out of Hogg Street, Albouystown and parked at the junction of Sussex (eastern side) and Saffon Streets. Its occupants observed salespersons removing a load of goods from the van and taking it into the market.
When the workers entered the market, the Raum turned onto Saffon Street and parked alongside the grocery van where one of its occupants first exited and went into the market through the first gate. Another accomplice also exited the vehicle and went into the market.
Shortly after, the second suspect returned to the van from the same gate while his accomplice, who first entered the market, came back to the van after exiting the market from its side gate which is on the western side of Sussex Street.
When the two suspects came back to the van, the footage showed one of them breaking the window with an object and he began emptying the stocks into the Raum with the help of the other suspect. The driver did not exit the Raum. The men then re-entered the vehicle and drove south along Saffon Street.
A police car even passed while the men were parked alongside the goods van, observing the surrounding.
The stallholder, who lost his stocks, said that his workers had just entered the market with one load and when they returned to the van they noticed it was emptied.
The suspects escaped with two bags containing milk powder, three cases of one pound butter and one case of mayonnaise.
A report was made at the Ruimveldt Police Station. Only a few weeks ago, the stallholder’s mother was robbed at gunpoint as she was getting into a taxi. No one was arrested.

In Granger's Guyana, the police is now the thiefman:

“From the minute we went upstairs, a man ran under the sink,” the resident said.
The resident said that the intruder then ran to them shouting “I is a policeman, I is a policeman, I got a gun.”
He allegedly then scrambled one of the men, but they eventually subdued and tied the thief.
They then contacted ranks from the Timehri Police Station. Three ranks arrived, and it was they who confirmed that the would-be burglar was indeed a police rank, who was also stationed at Timehri.
“They were shocked,” the resident said. “I showed them where he had broken into the house.”  The detective was transported to the Timehri Police Station where he was placed in custody.
A Division Commander Clifton Hicken confirmed that the detective was in custody after being nabbed in a house.

– nabbed and beaten by villagers; batteries and other spares recovered

Residents at Mahaica and Mahaicony may now be able to sleep soundly, after capturing a taxi driver and two men who had broken into and stolen articles from at least 17 vehicles during a three-day spree.
The culprits were nabbed on Friday while attempting to break into yet another vehicle at Mahaicony. A source said that they were “tied up like monkeys” and given a sound thrashing before being handed over to the police.
Police recovered several tape decks, a tractor alternator, eight batteries and other valuables. Vehicle owners have turned up to claim some of the items.
Sources gave the ages of the suspects as 37, 27 and 24. The taxi driver resides in Georgetown, while his accomplices are reportedly from Sophia.
Police believe that the trio’s spree began last Wednesday, when police began receiving reports from Mahaicony and Mahaica, of spares and items being stolen from mini-buses, cars and even a tractor.
It is believed that the gang used the recent heavy rainfall to their advantage.
But their luck ran during the early hours of Friday, when a Mahaicony resident looked outside and saw the men attempting to break into his vehicle, which was parked on a roadway.
The man raised an alarm and several residents responded and caught the suspects. They were tied and beaten, before being handed over to the police.
The men are scheduled to appear in court today.

PNC supporters feeling the squeeze as they resort to robbing each other to feed themselves under this jackass Granger administration.

A MOTHER of four was robbed of her mobile phone by another woman, who claimed that her husband had sent her to steal, so as to provide for their newborn.

Melinda Forde, aged 29 years had left her Lot 115, Essex Street home, in New Amsterdam, just before 20:00hrs, on Monday evening to purchase a Chinese sausage fried rice. She had in her possession a Smart phone, which was a gift from her mother.

After making the purchase, she was returning home when in a narrow unlit passageway a few feet from her home, a woman pounced on her. The attacker had emerged from under the stairs of a building which shared the same unfenced yard space as Forde’s home.

Although the attack was sudden, the victim managed to hold on to the thief who had grabbed her mobile device. They struggled on to the road, where an alarm was raised and neighbours responded. But, the suspect, escaped, fleeing into an alleyway along Main and King Streets, before hiding amongst trucks within the precinct of the Guyana Power and Light Company on Strand Road. She was however later arrested and handed over to the police. A search on her person revealed the phone in her underwear.

Even the lowly fruit vendor is not immune from robbery of Granger's angels.

TWO of three suspected bandits were on Tuesday afternoon apprehended by police following the execution of a daring robbery at a popular fruit and vegetable stand on North Road, Boarda.

According to the proprietor Chaterpaul Bharrat, at about 17:30hrs, he received a call that his business, ‘Bharrat’s fresh vegetables’ was being robbed. He was at the Harbour Bridge at the time.

He said that once he arrived at the fruit stand, which is located on North Road, he learnt that two men approached the stand and told a female worker to take off her valuables. One of the men reportedly had a gun in his possession. Bharrat said that they then approached his wife, Daveeka Seenarine and attempted to “bust off” her apron which had money, but a Brazilian customer who was there questioned “why would y’all want to do that?”

He revealed that the two men then turned their attention to the customer and relieved him (the customer) of two gold rings and $100,000 in cash. Hurriedly, they then left on foot, heading east of North Street, where another suspected accomplice was waiting with motorcycle CG 8631.

The proprietor said though, that the customer, who is a license firearm holder chased the men, but stumble and fell, which allowed for two of them to escape.
“He [the customer] get up and run one who run around to Regent Street and back and was eventually caught” Bharrat said, adding that by this time, he had arrived at the business.

A few seconds later, he said Police were able to apprehend a second suspect on Robb Street and the two were taken to Alberttown Police Station.

“The Police did a very good job because in no time they catch the second person. And they weren’t patrolling, somebody call them. So they reacted fast” a seemingly composed Bharrat said.
He said that when the two men were taken to the Police Station, the apron his wife was wearing was recovered but not the articles stolen from the customers.
He believes that these may have been handed to the third suspect who escaped. He was unable to say how much money was in his wife’s apron.

“They does target this area steady cause for last month alone we get rob three times. It was not a lot of money but the amount of times was a lot” he said, adding that he has always been supportive of the police and their work and he is thankful for their intervention on Tuesday.

Up to press time, the witnesses were giving statements at the Police Station, while the two suspects had been handcuffed and escorted to a cell. They are expected to appear before the court shortly.

Endless drug runnings under the PNC administration. They catch a few low level dealers and let the big boys play free.

Police ranks acting on information received, conducted several raids in the Broad Street, Charlestown Neighborhood on Monday for illegal drugs and firearms.

During the exercise, which commenced at 16:30h and concluded at 17:45h, in excess of 10.3 kilograms of cannabis were found at separate locations. A female has been taken into custody and is assisting with the investigation.

As a result of PNC police not doing their jobs, citizens are being killed by their harassers. Time and time again I hear people reporting harassment to the police and they chase them away without even filing a report or investigating. As a result the bullies are free to maim and kill as they know that the police are on the side of the criminals and jackass Granger will free them come Christmas.

“Since I was not sure, I took out my firearm and loaded it. I then waited on my bed to see who would collect the bike”. The businessman stated that after some time while on the lookout he heard the dogs barking and then he noticed someone dressed in dark clothing jumping his gate.” I saw someone jump my gate and walking at the side of the truck so I fired a shot in the air to scare him, I fired two more in the sky but he jumped on the bicycle and rode away”.
He stated that he contacted his son and went out as well to see if they would’ve possibly caught up with the intruder but they were unsuccessful.
Damar related that upon returning home he noticed his downstairs kitchen was ransacked, “I saw my place ransacked downstairs in the kitchen. When I check like the man mix tea and eat biscuits. It had apple and grapes in the fridge; he eat some too and the man gone with my two bottles of pepper sauce I had in the cupboard.”

firearm and three smartphones, from 41-year-old Elda Belle of Queenstown Georgetown outside Jialing Motors at Charlotte and Oronoque Streets, Georgetown.
Taxi driver, Richard Bellamy, who was transporting the woman, was shot in the left leg and is now a patient at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
According to information received by this publication, Belle, a businesswoman in the mining sector, along with her regular taxi driver, Bellamy, left her Queenstown home sometime around 10am yesterday to collect a cheque from a mining company at another location in the city.
The distraught woman related that upon leaving there, she and her driver proceeded to Republic Bank on Water Street to cash the cheque. She said she spent some time in the bank and when her business there was completed she proceed to Jialing Motors.
It was upon arrival at the location that the less than two-minute ordeal began to unfold.
The woman said that as soon as she exited the taxi, someone behind her asked her something which she couldn’t recall what the question was. According to her, when she turned around she was looking into the barrel of a gun. It is believed that the taxi driver upon seeing this attempted to come to the aid of the woman and was shot in the leg. According to a female eyewitness, she only realized that something serious was happening when she heard what sounded like a ‘big truck’ slamming its door.
But she quickly realized it was a gunshot.
“When I looked over I saw the guy (bandit) with the gun in the air. He was tall and slim, and he wore a sky blue jersey with a short blue pants.”
The woman said that one bandit carried out the robbery while a blue Toyota AT 212 car, with what turned out to be fake number plates, HB 5918, was parked close by with an accomplice.

‘A’ Division Commander Clifton Hicken at the scene

The eyewitness said that the woman struggled fiercely with the bandit, with one of the four-wheel All-Terrain Vehicles located in front of the store, leaning on her. The bystander said the men were very calm and they did not conceal their faces.
After snatching the victim’s bag, the bandit walk briskly back to the getaway car and it sped away south along Oronoque and turned east onto South Road and disappeared.
A security guard attached to Jialing Motors said that when he saw the men and realized they were armed, he initially retreated from the doorway where he stood, because he was unarmed.
“I wasn’t armed, so when I see the gun I quickly went inside and tell me boss.”
The guard recounted that shortly after the taxi driver stumbled into the store clutching his leg, with blood pouring down, and he was quickly rushed to the hospital.
Meanwhile, ‘A’ Division Commander Clifton Hicken, who was quickly on the scene, told the media that a .32 calibre warhead and spent shell were recovered inside the establishment. He also said that the police will be looking at CCTV footage from the cameras around.
The police later arrested an Albouystown man in connection with the robbery. From all indications the woman had been staked out and trailed from the bank. This is a worrying trend and adds to the list of robberies where victims were apparently followed from banks. It was on December 15, 2016, that a Security guard was shot and $2.5M stolen after the man was trailed from the bank. Another man was shot and robbed of $3M in the Finance Ministry compound after he too was followed from a bank.

For those afc/pnc supporters like django, kari, caribj, gilly and T with romantic ideas of going back to the homeland to kickback. This is what awaits you.
